| Hodgkin's disease |
A particular type of lymphoma that often begins in a lymph node on the side of the neck. Diagnosis is dependent on the identification of a particular malignant cell called the Reed-Steinberg cell.

| Hodgkin c. |
a regenerative, circular sequence of events between depolarization and permeability to sodium occurring in excitable cells: depolarization increases permeability to sodium, thus increasing the entry of sodium (Na+) into the cell, and the increased concentration of Na+ further depolarizes the membrane.

| Hodgkin's d. |
a form of malignant lymphoma characterized by painless, progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue; other symptoms may include anorexia, lassitude, weight loss, fever, pruritus, night sweats, and anemia. The characteristic histologic feature is presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. It affects twice as many males as females and is usually considered to be neoplastic in origin, although neither an infectious origin nor an immune response to Reed-Sternberg cells has been excluded. Four types have been distinguished according to histopathologic criteria, three with diffuse patterns (lymphocyte predominance type, mixed cellularity type, and lymphocyte depletion type) and one with a nodular pattern (nodular sclerosis type). Called also Reed-Hodgkin d. and Hodgkin's lymphoma. See also non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, under lymphoma.
